[zeromq-dev] Trouble cross compiling zeromq for PowerPC

[Jong Chen]

Can anyone help me with errors that I'm getting cross compiling Zeromq 2.2.0
for my PowerPC?

My build machine is x86 based and running Ubuntu v14.04.  I'm running a
cross compile tool chain that I built using
cross tools (v1.21.0).  I specifically used the cross tools script
powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe.  Cross tools
generated a bunch of target specific tools named like
powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-gcc.

I'm following the directions listed here
http://lists.zeromq.org/pipermail/zeromq-dev/2011-October/013789.html
to cross compile Zeromq.  The instructions mostly work for me.

The page states that I have to execute "./autogen.sh" but that is not in the
Zeromq directory.

I modified the .configure line to match my setup so it looks like

./configure --host=powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu
CC=powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-gcc    \
CXX=powerpc-e500v2-linux-gnuspe-g++ --with-cpp --with-chsat
--without-documentation 

During the build I get an error (see below) that states that it cannot link
with -lzmq

-----> snip <-----
checking for zmq.h... yes
checking for zmq_init in -lzmq... no
configure: error: cannot link with -lzmq, install libzmq.
Making all in src
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/chen2/work/czmq-2.2.0-ppc/src'
make  all-am
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/chen2/work/czmq-2.2.0-ppc/src'
  CC     zauth.lo
  CC     zbeacon.lo
-----> snip <-----

How do I fix the error message?  I'm guessing that it wants a libzmq that is
for my PowerPC target?  How do I get that?  Isn't that what I'm building
right now a library for Power PC?  I think I'm missing something here.

Thanks,
Jong
